A former top CIA official attacked Donald Trump on Friday as a danger to national security, saying President Vladimir Putin had made the Republican presidential candidate an "unwitting agent" of Russia.

Putin had flattered Trump into supporting positions favorable to Russia, Michael Morell, a longtime CIA officer and former deputy director of the agency, said in an opinion piece in The New York Times.

"In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation," Morell said, in an article in which he endorsed Trump's rival in the Nov. 8 election, Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Morell did not provide evidence for his assertion, but he said Putin had used skills from his past as an intelligence officer to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in an individual.

"That is exactly what he did early in the primaries. Mr. Putin played upon Mr. Trump’s vulnerabilities by complimenting him. He responded just as Mr. Putin had calculated," Morell wrote.

Trump's campaign dismissed Morell's criticism, linking the ex-CIA officer to the Obama administration's public response after the September 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

"Count how many reporters will tweet today that Michael Morell lied for #CrookedHillary to cover up Benghazi," Trump's campaign said in a Twitter message.

The incident, in which the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed, occurred while Clinton was secretary of state, and Republicans have long criticized her handling of the attack and its aftermath.

Critics say administration officials tried to play down the role of Islamist militants in the attacks. Morell approved talking points after the incident. U.S. officials have said any reference to militants taking part was initially dropped for classification reasons.

Morell is currently affiliated with Beacon Global Strategies, a consulting firm with ties to senior Democrats with national security expertise, including former defense secretary and CIA director Leon Panetta and former top Clinton aide Philippe Reines.

Trump's vice presidential running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, on Friday dismissed Morell's comments, saying that "standing up to Russian aggression is going to be really different under a Trump-Pence administration."

"These people are playing politics," Pence said of Morell in an interview on NBC's "Today" program.

Morell's article, in which he also said Trump had undermined U.S. security with his campaign proposal to combat terrorism by imposing a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country, added to questions raised by some national security experts about the New York businessman's qualifications to be president.

On Thursday, a bipartisan group of experts criticized Trump's lukewarm support for the NATO alliance, comments about Russia's annexation of Crimea and other matters as "disgraceful."

Trump has also drawn criticism for his praise for Putin as a strong leader, particularly after Moscow came under suspicion from U.S. officials as being behind recent hacking of Democratic Party groups. Moscow has denied the allegations.

Wikileaks Exposes Hillary's Benghazi Lies To Congress

Published on Aug 3, 2016

The Mainstream Media press has declared war on Donald Trump. Favoring
what their globalist masters have ordered their propagandized
professions to twist into pretzel logic to sway the vote towards Hillary
Clinton. Donald Trump didn’t take too kindly to the attack on his
character by Muslim father Khizr Khan at the DNC. Notice how the Clinton
News Network presided over the ongoing smear campaign?

Meanwhile a real criminal offense is occurring, Kurt Nimmo writes "
In 2013 Hillary Clinton lied to Congress. During testimony on the
Benghazi attack, Clinton denied she knew anything about the “rat line”
running weapons from Libya to jihadis in Syria, including AL-Qaeda and
the Islamic State.

Lying to Congress is a serious offense. It can result in a five-year
maximum prison sentence. If the lie involves terrorism, the maximum
prison sentence under Section 1001 of US Code is eight years.

Not only did Clinton know about the arms program, she oversaw it.
Memos retrieved from the Benghazi compound show Clinton’s State
Department was involved in weapons transfers.

Julian Assange told Democracy Now Wiki Leaks has emails that will further demonstrate Clinton’s role.

Assange told Democracy Now said. “...the disastrous, absolutely
disastrous intervention in Libya, the destruction of the Gaddafi
government, which led to the occupation of ISIS of large segments of
that country, weapons flows going over to Syria, being pushed by Hillary
Clinton, into jihadists within Syria, including ISIS, that’s there in
those emails. There’s more than 1,700 emails in Hillary Clinton’s
collection, that we have released, just about Libya alone.”

During that testimony, Clinton told Sen. Rand Paul that she didn't
have "any information" on any weapons transfer program with insurgent
groups in Turkey or elsewhere run out of Libya. Here's the transcript
(video below):

Paul: My question is, is the US involved in any procuring of
weapons, transfer of weapons, buying, selling anyhow transferring
weapons to Turkey out of Libya?

Clinton: To Turkey? I’ll have to take that question for the record. That’s, nobody’s ever raised that with me. Paul: It’s been in news reports that ships have been leaving
from Libya and that they may have weapons. And what I’d like to know is,
that annex that was close by, were they involved with procuring,
buying, selling, obtaining weapons and were any of these weapons being
transferred to other countries? Any countries, Turkey included?

Clinton: Well, Senator you’ll have to direct that question to the
agency that ran the annex. And, I will see what information was
available.

Paul: You’re saying you don’t know?

Clinton: I do not know. I don’t have any information on that.

Have We Forgotten That Hillary Pretty Much Called A Gold Star Mother A Liar?

Pat Smith, whose son was
among the four Americans killed, has repeatedly accused the
then-secretary of state of lying about the attack.

Smith has said that Clinton and other administration officials maintained that the violence stemmed from a response to an anti-Islam video.

Clinton vehemently denied that on the debate stage.

"You
know, look, I feel a great deal of sympathy for the families of the
four brave Americans that we lost at Benghazi. And I certainly can’t
even imagine the grief that she has for losing her son. But she’s wrong. She’s absolutely wrong," said Clinton.

She
added that she and everyone else in the administration was "scrambling"
to get information about what happened and that it was changing "by the
hour."
